Fate or Choice?

Its been a long while since the last post. Somehow the will to keep blogging had wavered.

Due to many things in life that are not within our control, often we cannot express ourselves though we meant to. Thus a reason to blog, a motivation to pen down in words what we would have loved to say.

Recently i heard from a friend who told me that she was afraid to see the doctor regarding some pressing medical problems as she had syllables to rush in her teaching job and her students are taking the Os soon.

Makes me ponder... why something so imperative could still be put behind priority... and then i realised, aren't many of us doing the exact same thing to ourselves?

Another teacher friend who also spent loads of time in teaching. It would be work in the morning and lesson preparations in the evenings, in the weekends, even when he was engaged in conversations with me.

Then i thought about another teacher who was literally sacrificing her entire time to teaching. 13-hr work shifts seemed like the average things to do and every day you will see her empty table while she is out there doing her best for her sometimes ungrateful students. She'll get upset even though she knows that it might be to no avail. Deadlines and deadlines seems neverending.

And i thought to myself, did they choose their lives to be like that or life has made them these choices?
